KB3SBC & WA3WSJ in Utah: Sept. 6-12

Update: 8/31/2016 – WA3WSJ

If you take a look at Angels Landing, you’ll see that I really can’t NPOTA icon
pack much radio gear to operate up top. So, my plan is to use my Elecraft KX2 as an HT.
I’ll put a few MFJ Telescopic antennas on 18.089, 14.061 and 10.116
My plan is to hike up to the landing and operate. I hope to start on Wednesday, September 8th, around 1500-1600utc.- maybe earlier. If you work me, please post me.

We will will be at Zion NP starting September
7 and 8. We will operate from numerous parts of the park.
